Just about every perfume known to man (or woman) nauseates me. I can think of no greater punishment than sitting behind someone who took a bath in perfume (instead of taking a real bath) and being stuck near them in a movie theater/on a city bus/ or anyplace that I can't easily escape. Perfumes are supposed to be a pleasant sensory experience, not a full scale sensory assault. If I'm more than 2 feet away from you, and I can smell you as if you were right on top of me, YOU'RE WEARING TOO MUCH!

The only things I can stand are natural body oils like Egyptian Musk or Chinese Musk, the fragrances used in Aveda products, and a perfume I bought from Lush called "ICON". Most of the designer fragrances make me seriously ill. The products from Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works don't usually give me that "I'm going to hurl!" feeling, but sometimes they're just loud.
